[comp.sys.isis] ISIS under System V.3

ken@gvax.cs.cornell.edu (Ken Birman) (08/28/90)

I got email from motcsd!greek!lance@apple.com (a return address that
doesn't work) asking if we ha
ve any experience with ISIS under "System
V.3".  ISIS does run under System V.4, more or less by definition, but
we think the port to a straight streams environment would be a bit
too much effort to be worth the time.

On many of these sorts of ports, though, we will be willing to work
with groups out there that have the resources but don't know quite
what to do and in what order.  For example, we'll probably do a port
to DYNIX (Sequent) sometime this fall with a user, once the person
in question finds a week to spend on it.

As an aside, we find it helpful if people whose email is via a
complex uunet pathway could explicitly include the reply address
to use at the bottom of their message.  uucp often computes these
incorrectly, and then we can't reply.  If you send an inquiry and
don't get an immediate reply, assume something went wrong.  We are
in the habit of responding promptly to EVERY query.
